Which Pickguard for Candy Apple Red PBass?

[d00kieguy]

Alright guys, lemme see yo red pbasses.

Want something unique, I'm open to any ideas, but one thing's for sure: I ain't keeping stock white on it.

I'm pretty much thinking black. If it was white/sunburst tort would be my choice, but I can't imagine a ca red pbass with a tort. Unless anyone has pics?

Show me your candly apple red pbasses!

white pearl.

i have a cherry red p bass and i used solid white.
there was some metallic in the paint, so i didnt want pearl.

but imo on a solid candy apple red bass, white pearl would make it pop.

i cant post a pic while at work, so here is a previous thread i posted it in.

I've got a black pickguard on my red P-bass - here's a pic (the bass on the left is an Ibanez Blazer Bass, which , ironically I got with a BLACK pickguard and replaced it with a WHITE one).

Hey guys, thanks for all the posts. The pearloid and black both look nice, but pearl's a bit too fancy/elegant for me, I think black would be more fitting.

While streaming through pics, I found this black abalone/black pearl thing. I think it'd look great on a red pbass. Anyone got anything of that black sort on a red candy apple red?

 

[dave_bass5]

Black did it for me.

But i do prefer the Pearl White. I do agree though that its a bit too fancy looking for some.

 

[line6man]

White pearl for sure.

Black pearloid!!!

 

[d00kieguy]

Lol, so many choices. They should have a bass simulator with all these different pickguards so you can really see how they look. lol


So black pearl sounds good to me. It's like a black + pearloid, so basically I'm taking both. LOL

Follow-up quesiton, my bass is a 97/98 CIJ PBass. What sorta pickguards fit on it?

Would a US pbass-fit pickguard fit mine?

The white pearl looks great on my CAR Peavey Axcelerator.

weird i was gonna ask this exact question since i have a CAR P with a plain jane white PG coming in. luckily enough i bought a white pearloid pg for a different project that im not gonna use...damn shame i like the black better

 

[KJung]

White pearl for sure.

+1

 

[your idol]

anyone got this CAR P with a maple neck?!?!

 

[Buskman]

+1 to the mint or black suggestions.

I think tort looks pretty sweet w/ CAR, too!

 

[john_martin_sai]

Plain White is best, but if you must change go with the pearl white. 'Mirror' or 'clear' are also cool options. Invalid Link Removed

 

[Floridabwoy]

Yeah.. I like red tort on car red.

 

[dave_bass5]

I think a white PG of some sort really works well with a neck that has white binding. It just seems to complete the bass if that makes sense.

Don't know how It'd look on CAR red but I love red and anodized gold.
